An Overview of the Evolving Law Related to Computer Network Defense.
Despite the slowness of the legal change process, we can identify four fairly distinct roles or "lanes in the road" pertinent to Computer Network Defense, or CND. CND consists of actions taken to protect, monitor, analyze, detect, and respond to unauthorized activity within DoD information systems and computer networks. The four lanes that will be addressed are the Service Provider lane, the Law Enforcement lane, the Intelligence lane and the Warfighter lane. This topic will present the four lanes, and the legislation, and court opinions relevant to each. In addition, we will compare and contrast Service Providers, Law Enforcement, the Intelligence community, and the Warfighter. This analysis was presented in the Summer 2002 edition of the IANewsletter, accessible through the link on this page, and has proved to be a useful foundation for sorting further case law.
